b. Use the
This Interface
drop-down menu to specify how network address information is
defined over the LAN connection. Select
DHCP Client
if the larger corporate network
uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and
delivery of host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host. Some
of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select
DHCP Server
to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection. Select the
Bootp
client
option to enable a diskless system to discover its own IP address.
c. Enter the network-assigned
IP Address
of the access point. DNS names are not
supported as a valid IP address for the access point. The user is required to enter a
numerical IP address.
d. The
Subnet Mask
defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of numbers specify
the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of hosts within a larger network.
These values help divide a network into subnetworks and simplify routing and data
transmission.
e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a
Default Gateway
to
define the
numerical IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet as its default
gateway
f. If using a static or DHCP Server, enter the
Primary DNS Server
numerical IP address.
g. If using DHCP Server, use the
Address Assignment Range
parameter to specify a
range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses. If a manually (static)
mapped IP address is within the IP address range specified, that IP address could still be
assigned to another client. To avoid this, ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are
outside of the IP address range assigned to the DHCP server.
NOTE
Motorola Solutions recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not
be configured as DHCP clients at the same time.
NOTE
For additional access point port configuration options, as well as radio,
WLAN and
